For this 7-person ”band of hackers, artists and musicians,” we’re flattered Ad Age complimented us on our ability to “turn out projects for marketers and other agencies …

Check us out on Engadget this week. You heard about it in John Prolly’s blog, then again on our blog.

I am in NY now at AdAge Digital. I speak tomorrow about Chalkbot and Gutter Tech. So far, nothing great to report. Twitter’s COO announced their ad platform (I won’t share my opinion here). The best part is Heather and I met Jason Fried of 37 Signals. We got to talk briefly. Personally, I have …

Last week Chloe and I went to Context, AIGA Pittsburgh’s annual exhibition and award night. It was great to see Pittsburgh’s design community gathered in one place—namely SPACE gallery Downtown—to share the fruits of our efforts.
